i run a series of queries each night that look for: customer order lines for parts w/o std cost open PO lines parts w/o std cost open shop orders for parts w/o std cost inventory transactions for parts w/o std cost parts with an inventory balance w/0 std cost it's not exactly the same, but it is much easier to run the queries than to modify BPCS code. chick doe barton instrument systems >>> stagis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 06/12/03 06:24AM >>> BPCS 4.05CD I've been presented with an absolute requirement by my general manager. NO order entry unless an item has a standard cost. We generate a few new item numbers every day and customer service is under the gun to get orders entered, production control has to get shop orders going, etc..... I can do SFC500 with no problem. ORD500 and PUR500 are separate issues. Does anybody have any code in place or good ideas?

I also apologize a head of time if you receive it more than once... Quick question for Srikanth. Do you need to make your chose in the next few days? Or do you only have a few days to map this whole project out?

FYI, we are thinking about applying your option 1 or 2 to consolidate apps. w/ a company we own overseas; they are currently on BRAIN (another ERP solution). 1. We would use LPAR running BPCS under one partition and BRAIN under another; cutting our AS/400 cost in half (by leasing and maintaining one, instead of two, AS/400) 2. Bringing them on board w/ BPCS under a separate Facility and Company; this would eliminate cost associated w/ BRAIN along w/ cutting the AS/400 cost in half. Also, this would give us better visibility to each others data (we already have BPCS setup in German). However, needless to say, this w/b an extremely large project... We really haven't considered option 3; granted cost may be saved on hardware, but I've been told-by SSA-that the windows version of BPCS is for Clients w/ a very small user base (I believe around 12, although this may have changed). Unix may not be a bad choice, but around 90 percent of BPCS users run off the AS/400. I believe we were on 4.0.05 before we went to 4.05CD; it wasn't that drastic of an upgrade; however, if you're going to go thru the hassle of an upgrade (apply customized code and all), you might as well upgrade to the latest stable release (or at least research this option)...

I am basically newbie to BPCS and AS/400 environment. I need to find out a place where I can understand the architecture of BPCS on AS/400. Would you be able to suggest a best web site or a book that is good for a starter like me. I also have a requirement given by my manager where I need to plan for system consolidation in the next few days. We have 3 different BPCS environment with versions 3.7, 4.0.0.5 and 4.5CD running on AS/400 platform at 3 different locations. I have been asked to look into the following consolidation options: 1. Consolidate 3 BPCS instances running in 3 boxes into one single box running AS/400 but still BPCS running as 3 separate versions. 2. Consolidate 3 different versions of BPCS instances in to 1 single version BPCS instance based on the highest versions available in the location. 3. Migrate all 3 instances from AS/400 to Unix/Windows platforms. I would appreciate if you can share with me on your professional expertise on the above options in terms of costs vs benefits vs risks. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Srikanth __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
